Should work the same as other ASM1061 cards, which were reported as bootable in a G5 Late 2005.
You can count on ~200MB/s read and writes top. Putting 2 of these in a RAID 0 would double the throughput and could be a pretty nice in a G5.

Is the 200MB/s limitation a result of the PCIe bus? I see that this card has two sata ports, is 200 the maximum speed for both combined or per hard drive?

Reason is, I want to get more speed and use a bigger SSD.
Actually I have an old Samsung 830 64GB drive on the internal bus. It works pretty well, but if the above configuration will work too, it would make actual SSD work with the old G5 and for sure not to forget the speed!

mSATA is SATA just in other form and re-arrangend pinouts.
ASM 1061 works – that's all what makes the magic.

Not completely on topic, but I've noticed on eBay listings that there are SSDs that claim to be both mSATA and mini PCIe. Are these mSATA SSDs that require some sort of SATA controller to be built into the PCIe controller, or how do they work? I'm wondering if iMacs or Mac minis (Intels) could be booted off of PCIe using these?
